Rev. 1.0 November 2018 www.aosmd.com Page 10 of 15

Application InformationAOZ5339QI is a fully integrated power module designedto work over an input voltage range of 2.5V to 25V with aseparate 5V supply for gate drive and internal control cir-cuitry. The MOSFETs are individually optimized for effi-cient operation on both High-Side and Low-Side for alow duty cycle synchronous buck converter. High currentMOSFET Gate Drivers are integrated in the package tominimize parasitic loop inductance for optimum switchingefficiency.

Powering the Module and the Gate Drives

An external supply PVCC = 5V is required for driving theMOSFETs. The MOSFETs are designed with optimallycustomized gate thresholds voltages to achieve the mostadvantageous compromise between fast switchingspeed and minimal power loss. The integrated gate driveris capable of supplying large peak current into the Low-Side MOSFET to achieve fast switching. A ceramicbypass capacitor of 1F or higher is recommended fromPVCC (Pin 29) to PGND (Pin 28). The control logicsupply VCC (Pin 3) can be derived from the gate drivesupply PVCC (Pin 29) through an RC filter to bypass theswitching noise (See Typical Application Circuit).

The boost supply for driving the High-Side MOSFET isgenerated by connecting a small capacitor (100nF)between the BOOT (Pin 5) and the switching nodePHASE (Pin 7). It is recommended that this capacitorCBOOT should be connected to the device across Pin 5and Pin 7 as close as possible. A bootstrap switch isintegrated into the device to reduce external componentcount. An optional resistor RBOOT in series with CBOOTbetween 1Ω to 5Ω can be used to slow down the turn onspeed of the High-Side MOSFET to achieve both shortswitching time and low VSWH switching node spikes atthe same time.

Under-voltage Lockout

AOZ5339QI starts up to normal operation when VCCrises above the Under-Voltage LockOut (UVLO)threshold voltage. The UVLO release is set at 3.5Vtypically. Since the PWM control signal is provided froman external controller or a digital processor, extra cautionmust be taken during start up. AOZ5339QI must bepowered up before PWM input is applied.

Normal system operation begins with a soft startsequence by the controller to minimize in-rush currentduring start up. Powering the module with a full dutycycle PWM signal may lead to many undesirable conse-quences due to excessive power. AOZ5339QI providessome protections such as UVLO and thermal monitor.For system level protection, the PWM controller shouldmonitor the current output and protect the load under all pos-sible operating and transient conditions.

Disable (DISB#) Function

The AOZ5339QI can be enabled and disabled throughDISB# (Pin 31). The driver output is disabled whenDISB# input is connected to AGND. The module wouldbe in standby mode with low quiescent current of lessthan 1uA. The module will be active when DISB# isconnected to VCC Supply. The driver output will followPWM input signal. A weak pull-down resistor isconnected between DISB# and AGND.

Power up sequence design must be implemented toensure proper coordination between the module andexternal PWM controller for soft start and system enable/disable. It is recommended that the AOZ5339QI shouldbe disabled before the PWM controller is disabled. Thiswould make sure AOZ5339QI will be operating under therecommended conditions.

Input Voltage VIN

AOZ5339QI is rated to operate over a wide input rangefrom 2.5V to 25V. For high current synchronous buckconverter applications, large pulse current at high fre-quency and high current slew rates (di/dt) will be drawnby the module during normal operation. It is strongly rec-ommended to place a bypass capacitor very close to thepackage leads at the input supply (VIN). Both X7R or X5Rquality surface mount ceramic capacitors are suitable.

The High-Side MOSFET is optimized for fast switchingby using low gate charges (QG) device. When the mod-ule is operated at high duty cycle ratio, conduction lossfrom the High-Side MOSFET will be higher. The totalpower loss for the module is still relatively low but theHigh-Side MOSFET higher conduction loss may havehigher temperature. The two MOSFETs have their ownexposed pads and PCB copper areas for heat dissipa-tion. It is recommended that worst case junction tem-perature be measured for both High-Side MOSFET andLow-Side MOSFET to ensure that they are operatingwithin Safe Operating Area (SOA).

PWM Input

AOZ5339QI is compatible with 3V and 5V (CMOS) PWMlogic. Refer to Figure 1 for PWM logic timing andpropagation delays diagram between PWM input and theMOSFET gate drives.

The PWM is also compatible with Tri-State input. Whenthe PWM output from the external PWM controller is inhigh impedance or not connected both High-Side andLow-Side MOSFETs are turned off and VSWH is in highimpedance state. Table 2 shows the thresholds level forhigh-to-low and low-to-high transitions as well as Tri-State window.

Page 11: AOZ5339QI - aosmd.com

AOZ5339QI

There is a Holdoff Delay between the correspondingPWM Tri-State signal and the MOSFET gate drivers toprevent spurious triggering of Tri-State mode which maybe caused by noise or PWM signal glitches. The HoldoffDelay is typically 25ns.

Table 2. PWM Input and Tri-State Threshold

Note: See Figure 2 for propagation delays and Tri-State window.

Diode Mode Emulation of Low-Side MOSFET (SMOD#)

AOZ5339QI can be operated in the diode emulation orpulse skipping mode using SMOD# (Pin 2). This enablesthe converter to operate in asynchronous mode duringstart up, light load or under pre-bias conditions.

When SMOD# is high, the module will operate in Con-tinuous Conduction Mode (CCM). The Driver logic willuse the PWM signal and generate both the High-Sideand Low-Side complementary gate drive outputs withminimal anti-overlap delays to avoid cross conduction.

When SMOD# is low, the module can operate in Dis-continuous Conduction Mode (DCM). The High-SideMOSFET gate drive output is not affected but Low-SideMOSFET will enter diode emulation mode. See Table 1for all truth table for DISB#, SMOD# and PWM inputs.

Gate Drives

AOZ5339QI has an internal high current high speeddriver that generates the floating gate driver for theHigh-Side MOSFET and a complementary driver for theLow-Side MOSFET. An internal shoot through protec-tion scheme is implemented to ensure that both MOS-FETs cannot be turned on at the same time. Theoperation of PWM signal transition is illustrated asbelow.

1) PWM from logic Low to logic High

When the falling edge of Low-Side Gate Driver outputGL goes below 1V, the blanking period is activated. Aftera pre-determined value (tPDHU), the complementaryHigh-Side Gate Driver output GH is turned on.

2) PWM from logic High to logic Low

When the falling edge of switching node VSWH goesbelow 1V, the blanking period is activated. After a pre-determined value (tPDHL), the complementary Low-SideGate Driver output GL is turned on.

This mechanism prevents cross conduction across theinput bus line VIN and PGND. The anti-overlap circuitmonitors the switching node VSWH to ensure a smoothtransition between the two MOSFETs under any loadtransient conditions.

Thermal Warning (THWN)

The driver IC temperature is internally monitored and anthermal warning flag at THWN (Pin 30) is asserted if itexceeds 150°C. This warning flag is reset when thetemperature drop back to 120°C. THWN is an opendrain output that is pulled to AGND to indicate an over-temperature condition. It should be connected to VCCthrough a resistor for monitoring purpose. The devicewill not power down during the over temperature condi-tion.

PCB Layout GuidelinesAOZ5339QI is a high current module rated for operationup to 2MHz. This requires fast switching speed to keepthe switching losses and device temperatures within lim-its. An integrated gate driver within the package elimi-nates driver-to-MOSFET gate pad parasitic of thepackage or on PCB.

To achieve high switching speeds, high levels of slewrate (dv/dt and di/dt) will be present throughout thepower train which requires careful attention to PCB lay-out to minimize voltage spikes and other transients. Aswith any synchronous buck converter layout, the criticalrequirement is to minimize the path of the primaryswitching current loop formed by the High-Side MOSFET,Low-Side MOSFET, and the input bypass capacitor CIN.The PCB design is greatly simplified by the optimizationof the AOZ5339QI pin out. The power inputs of VIN andPGND are located adjacent to each other and the inputbypass capacitors CIN should be placed as close as pos-sible to these pins. The area of the secondary switchingloop is formed by Low-Side MOSFET, output inductorL1, and output capacitor COUT is the next critical require-ment. This requires second layer or “Inner 1” to be thePGND plane. VIAs should then be placed near PGNDpads.

While AOZ5339QI is a highly efficient module, it is stilldissipating significant amount of heat under high power con-ditions. Special attention is required for thermal design.MOSFETs in the package are directly attached to indi-vidual exposed pads (VIN and PGND) to simplify ther-mal management. Both VIN and VSWH pads should beattached to large areas of PCB copper. Thermal reliefpads should be placed to ensure proper heat dissipationto the board. An inner power plane layer dedicated toVIN, typically the high voltage system input, is desirableand VIAs should be provided near the device to connect

As shown on Figure. 11, the top most layer of the PCBshould comprise of wide and exposed copper area forthe primary AC current loop which runs along VIN padoriginating from the input capacitors C10, C11 and C12that are mounted to a large PGND pad. They serve asthermal relief as heat flows down to the VIN exposed padthat fan out to a wider area. Adding VIAs will only helptransfer heat to cooler regions of the PCB board throughthe other layers beneath but serve no purpose to ACactivity as all the AC current sees the lowest impedanceon the top layer only.

As the primary and secondary (complimentary) AC cur-rent loops move through VIN to VSWH and throughPGND to VSWH, large positive and negative voltagespike appear at the VSWH terminal which are causedby the large internal di/dt produced by the package par-asitic. To minimize the effects of this interference at theVSWH terminal, at which the main inductor L1 ismounted, size just enough for the inductor to physicallyfit. The goal is to employ the least amount of copperarea for this VSWH terminal, only enough so the induc-tor can be securely mounted.

To minimize the effects of switching noise coupling to therest of the sensitive areas of the PCB, the area directlyunderneath the designated VSWH pad or inductorterminal is voided and the shape of this void is replicateddescending down through the rest of the layers. Refer to

Figure 12. replicated descending down through the restof the layers. Refer to Figure 12.

Positioning via through the landing pattern of the VINand PGND thermal pads will help quickly facilitate thethermal build up and spread the heat much more quicklytowards the surrounding copper layers descending fromthe top layer. (See RECOMMENDED LANDING PAT-TERN ANDVIA PLACEMENT section).

The exposed pads dimensional footprint of the 5x5 QFNpackage is shown on the package dimensions page.For optimal thermal relief, it is recommended to fill thePGND and VIN exposed landing pattern with 10mildiameter VIAs. 10mil diameter is a commonly used viadiameter as it is optimally cost effective based on thetooling bit used in manufacturing. Each via is associatedwith a 20mil diameter keep out. Maintain a 5mil clear-ance (127um) around the inside edge of each exposedpad in an event of solder overflow, potentially shortingwith the adjacent expose thermal pad.
